TO MAKE THE CREOLE-SPICED POPCORN SEASONING

Step 1

TO MAKE THE POPCORN

Step 2

Place the bacon grease, along with 3 kernels of corn, in a heavy-bottom pan. Heat at medium-high until the kernels pop, about 4 minutes. Remove popped kernels.

Step 3

Pour in the remaining popcorn and stir with a wooden spoon to coat kernels. Place a lid on the pot and continue to heat until kernels begin to pop. Turn off heat. With lid tightly secured, shake pot to ensure that all kernels pop. Continue to agitate until the popping slows, 1–2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and immediately transfer to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with the Creole-Spiced butter.
